Old Jaffa and port

יפו העתיקה

One of the oldest ports in the world, and formerly the biggest seaport in Israel. This is the point where Jonah reputedly boarded a ship and was later swallowed by a big fish. Today the port and the area close to it have become a quaint, interesting renovated district. The port holds various shops, restaurants and events. See websites for Jaffa port and Old Jaffa.
